Whistleblower Holiday Cheer 2016!

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Romney’s at the door,
Standing there with cup in hand,
“Please sir, may I have some more?”

Who will be the chief at State?
Mitt or Dave or Rudy?
How ‘bout tough guy JR Bolton?
Isn’t he a beauty?

Kellyanne, she’s our man!
Smiling like a shark,
Oh what fun it is to see
Her ever present snark.

Hillary, gets shellacked!
Trump has doused her flame,
Except for Comey, racists, assorted haters, Fox News, deplorables, poor messaging, Russians and Wiki leaks,
She freely accepts the blame.

How did he win? How did she lose?
Did she have disdain
For forgotten heartland’s pleas,
While he felt their pain?

Will we ever see the wall?
Mexico pays the bill?
Or was that just campaign red meat.
A huckster’s ‘sugar pill’?

The game is done. We must move on
And think of lessons learned.
Demonizing couldn’t halt
Millions who’ve been spurned. 

I challenge you to reach inside
And summon your good sense
Is President Trump scarier than
President Mike Pence?

Joy and Peace!

Becoming a Part-Time Physician

By
Next month my schedule will change.  I will henceforth be off on Fridays with my work week truncated to Monday through Thursday.   I am excited to be enjoying a long weekend every weekend.  And while the schedule change is relatively minor, this event does feel like an important career moment for me.  It is the first step on a journey that will ultimately lead beyond my professional career.  It is this recognition that makes this modest schedule modification more significant than one would think it deserves.  As some readers know,   my current employed position has been a dream job for me.   Prior to this, I was in a small private practice, which I loved, but was much more challenging professionally and personally.   My partner and I ran the business.   Working nights, weekends and holidays were routine for decades.   On an on-call night, if I slept  through until morning, I felt as if I had won the lottery.   And w...

When Should Doctors Retire?

By
I am asked with some regularity whether I am aiming to retire in the near term.  Years ago, I never received such inquiries.  Why now?   Might it be because my coiffure and goatee – although finely-manicured – has long entered the gray area?  Could it be because many other even younger physicians have given up their stethoscopes for lives of leisure? (Hopefully, my inquiring patients are not suspecting me of professional performance lapses!) Interestingly, a nurse in my office recently approached me and asked me sotto voce that she heard I was retiring.    “Interesting,” I remarked.   Since I was unaware of this retirement news, I asked her when would be my last day at work.   I have no idea where this erroneous rumor originated from.   I requested that my nurse-friend contact her flawed intel source and set him or her straight.   Retirement might seem tempting to me as I have so many other interests.   Indeed, reading and ...

Personal Responsibility for Health

By
One of the advantages of the computer era is that patients and physicians can communicate via a portal system.  A patient can submit an inquiry which I typically respond to promptly.  It also offers me the opportunity to provide advice or test results to patients.  Moreover, the system documents that the patient has in fact read my message.  Beyond the medical value, it also provides some legal protection if it is later alleged that ‘my doctor never sent me my results’.  I have always endorsed the concept that patients must accept personal responsibility.   Consider this hypothetical example. A patient undergoes a screening colonoscopy and a polyp is removed.   The patient is told to expect a portal message detailing the results in the coming days.   Once the analysis of the polyp has been completed, the doctor sends a message via the portal communicating that the polyp is benign, but is regarded as ‘precancerous'.   The patient is advise...
